The latest posted series is here:

However, we've made some significant changes to the area that's similar
to what you are doing. You can find lasted un-posted here:

https://github.com/sbates130272/linux-p2pmem/tree/pci-p2p-v4-pre2

Specifically this function would be of interest to you:

https://github.com/sbates130272/linux-p2pmem/blob/0e9468ae2a5a5198513dd12990151e09105f0351/drivers/pci/p2pdma.c#L239

However, the difference between what we are doing is that we are
interested in the distance through the common upstream device and you
appear to be finding the actual common device.

Thanks,

Logan
